The ministerial official notes the city’s sewer expense is in ordinance but not line‑item funded. City’s share for the questioned sewer is $6,554.91, with previous similar contracts certified at council request. His concern is staying within the constitutional debt limit, as about $40,000 remains of headroom though ongoing sewer projects would exceed it.
